PAM 382 Bronzo - QC Pics allowed Thread

[Silwer]

This needs to be tested still. I have only been wearing this watch during the holidays, therefore it has only been off my wrist max. 12 hours at one night. Then I had no issues with power reserve.

Btw, one more thing, I like 21600 bph ticking sound more than 28800 bph (my Omega CrPo and B&R 02-92 that have ETA2836 and A2824 movements).

Mine give 14 hours power reserve ...put it off at 10 pm watch still running at 2 pm next day

I still have not measured, but I am sure that PR is way more than 12 or 14 hours. Did some under snorkling wearing my PAM 382: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4bZeneUQwlI#t=67

Just measured my PAM 382 with Seagull movement power reserve and it is very decent 47 hours. The one who are getting way less have either faulty movements or just do not move around enough to wind the watch properly.

hey guys,

would you mind helping me checking my QC pics, cause I'm really unsure how to rate them.

I just got these QC pics:

What do you think?

I think it looks good. My only concern is that it was apparently polished with metal polish, which I heard is not so good and also doesn't look very nice here:

But keep in mind other pictures were taken after polishing.

What do you think?

Help is much appreciated

Cheers,
yaku

I do not see any photos...

 

[yakuuu]

ok sorry, now they should be visible

Looking good.

I don't think the dealer polishes it, or a you buying it M2M

 

[yakuuu]

ok, because at first the watch had a few stains and I asked if this is normal and then he cleaned it for me (with metal polish it seems) and send me these pics.

I don't know if this would have any negative effects on the surface/patina.

The stains are normal, now that he polished it he probably wiped the brushing off

 

[yakuuu]

ok, thx for the feedback.

I guess I have to ask him for another one then...

I ordered the PAM382 with A7750 (easier to repair if need to else Seagull is supposedly a more reliable movement?), which, according to the TD is the most current KW. He said some called it V3, some called V4.
Just waiting for timegraph before I approve them. BUT, a member said this could be ZF instead of KW?
I am quite confused now, below are the QC photo and the reply from TD:

"That is the point. I told you this is latest version. Someone call it v3 some one call it v4. But this is the latest kW 382 .... You may call it v4. "

I would reject this. 15 and 45 markers on the bezel are crooked, 12 markers on the dial as well. Inner CG shape is awful.
Nonetheless it looks like KW to me, mostly based on the thicker engravings on movement and rotor. I cannot be sure though, I have never seen a lever so detached from the case in any KW or ZF 382.

I agree with the post above.... get a different watch. reject this one.

Kilo.. May I know how exactly is "a lever detached from the case" ? I am sorry for my noobness..

I mean the lever tip, look at first pic, the tip looks very distant from the case.

@kilowattore @calebloco

Thank you for your input, I have rejected this one. Hopefully next one will be better. :doh:
